GOALS – Xbox Insider Playtest Launches Today!

Oh man, so you’ve got this JOGO Festival kicking off today in GOALS. It’s like this fast-paced PvP football thing happening right now on Xbox Series X|S. I don’t even know how I stumbled upon this, but hey, here we are. Jump in, tackle some challenges, and maybe snag some cool stuff. Apparently, it’s a whole tribute to how awesome football is. Who would’ve thought?

### What’s This Game Thing About?

So GOALS, right? It’s this whole free-to-play football game. Kinda feels like they’re really focusing on how the game plays, not just flashy graphics or whatever. Wanna build a club, or a squad? Go for it. Supposedly, you get to really show what you got on the field. Not just some run-of-the-mill game here.

And if you’re curious, or maybe just nosy, check out their official site. Or hang out in their Discord. Personally, I’d probably get lost in there.

### How Do You Even Jump In?

Okay, so like, grab your Xbox Series X|S. Launch that Xbox Insider Hub thing — or, you know, download it if you don’t have it yet. I feel like they could make this easier, right? Navigate through Previews > GOALS. Hit “Join,” and wait a bit until it lets you grab the GOALS Alpha from the Store.

Btw, spots are kinda limited, so good luck. First-come, first-served and all that jazz. And yeah, only Xbox Series X|S users can play. Lucky them.

### Got Any Gripes? Here’s What To Do.

If something goes sideways while you’re playing, make use of the “Report a problem” feature. I didn’t even know you could do this until now. Press that home button on your controller, choose “Report a problem,” and pick the right categories. Fill out what’s wrong. Easy-peasy, theoretically.

### Oh, More Stuff!

Follow them on X/Twitter at @XboxInsider if that’s your thing. And they’ve got this blog for announcements and all sorts of info. Plus, the Xbox Insider SubReddit seems like a happening place. I haven’t been there, but it sounds like a good community hangout.

So, yeah. That’s my spiel. Go kick some virtual footballs or something.
